   You can start by trying to locate the source w/r to different   
   gain settings in the signal chain.   
      
   So how can you make it worse, first. Then you can concentrate on   
   smaller sections of the circuitry, without the schematic.   
      
   You seem to be happy running without that specific channel -   
   complainibg about feed-through only - so just killing   
   the section may be enough of a fix to satisfy your customer,   
   if you can't cure the actual local fault.
